Energy is calculated as power*time, so give the wattage of 1200 W (equivalent to 1200 Joules/second) and time of 30 seconds, multiplying these gives 36000 J or 36 kJ of electrical energy.

If electrical charge or current is needed: Power = voltage * current, so given the power of 1200 watts and voltage of 120 V, current is 1200 W / 120 V = 10 Amperes. Charge is calculated by multiplying 10 A*30 s = 300 C.

lisabon 2012 [21]

Answer:5 Neither: both negative and positive charge are present simultaneously in all solid materials on Earth

Explanation:

When we rub a glass rod with silk cloth then some of the electrons from glass rods are stripped away to the silk cloth. These electrons are loosely bound to the silk rod that is why they easily transferred to silk cloth.  

There is no net charge because the charge is induced when we rub the cloth and charge are separated therefore we able to notice these charges.

In a certain clock, a pendulum of length L1 has a period T1 = 0.95s. The length of the pendulum
gulaghasi [49]

Answer:

Ratio of length will be \frac{L_2}{L_1}=1.108

Explanation:

We have given time period of the pendulum when length is L_1 is T_1=0.95sec

And when length is L_2 time period T_2=1sec

We know that time period is given by

T=2\pi \sqrt{\frac{L}{g}}

So 0.95=2\pi \sqrt{\frac{L_1}{g}}----eqn 1

And 1=2\pi \sqrt{\frac{L_2}{g}}-------eqn 2

Dividing eqn 2 by eqn 1

\frac{1}{0.95}=\sqrt{\frac{L_2}{L_1}}

Squaring both side

\frac{L_2}{L_1}=1.108

A heat engine (Power Cycle) with a thermal efficiency of 35 percent efficiency produces 750 kJ of work. Heat transfer to the eng
frosja888 [35]

Answer:

a) The schematic illustrating is attached

b) The heat transfer to the heat engine is 2142.86 kJ, the heat transfer from the heat engine is 1392.86 kJ

c) The heat transfer to the heat engine is 1648.35 kJ, the heat transfer from the heat engine is 898.35 kJ

Explanation:

b) The heat transfer to the engine and the heat transfer from the engine to the air is:

Q_{1} =\frac{W}{n}

Where

W = 750 kJ

n = 35% = 0.25

Replacing:

Q_{1} =\frac{750}{0.35} =2142.86kJ

Q_{2} =Q_{1} -W=2142.86-750=1392.86kJ

c) The efficiency of Carnot engine is:

n=1-\frac{300K}{550K} =0.455

The heat transfer to the heat engine is:

Q_{1c} =\frac{750}{0.455} =1648.35kJ

The heat transfer from the heat engine is:

Q_{2c} =1648.35-750=898.35kJ

A 12.0 kg mass, fastened to the end of an aluminum wire with an unstretched length of 0.50 m, is whirled in a vertical circle wi
Kamila [148]

Answer:

A.)1.52cm

B.)1.18cm

Explanation:

angular speed of 120 rev/min.

cross sectional area=0.14cm²

mass=12kg

F=120±12ω²r

=120±12(120×2π/60)^2 ×0.50

=828N or 1068N

To calculate the elongation of the wire for lowest and highest point

δ=F/A

= 1068/0.5

δ=2136MPa

'E' which is the modulus of elasticity for alluminium is 70000MPa

δ=ξl=φl/E =2136×50/70000=1.52cm

δ=F/A=828/0.5

=1656MPa

δ=ξl=φl/E

=1656×50/70000=1.18cm

δ=1.18cm
